Gameday Thread: Angels @ A's (7/19/21): Ohtani on the mound & hitting 2nd; Marsh in CF again

[rafibomb]

It really was a breath of fresh air watching Marsh at the plate. It's easy to see how he has posted a BB-rate of at least 10% every single year in the minors(minus his first season at age 19). His highest being this year at triple-a with a BB-rate of 14.5%.

The only frustrating thing about Ohtani tonight was missing that meatball hanger that could have put us up 2-0. But I love the leadership. 

We don’t deserve this guy

they figure he's safe out there in that most of the balls hit in his direction usually travel over him.  

clearly Ohtani needs to become a three way player and come back in as a pen guy to close out the game after he's had an inning off.  Oh never mind.  Too late.

Those numbers are atrocious. He had one ball hit to him, it was a clean single, I think it was Houston, the first or second time they put him out there for an inning.

I think he just meant no fly balls hit to that he had to actually make a play on. Something that would count as a "çhance" from a stat standpoint.

In other words the bullpen sucks? Particularly in relief of Ohtani.
